SSS announce collaboration with Avid

The Screen Subtitling Systems Polistream system has been manipulated to produce a MetaSync-compatible integration with the Avid range of editing products, designed to support the creation, editing and burn-in of subtitles.
The SSS Poli system provides broadcasters with the ability to implement, control and monitor the transmission of subtitles in a simple, cost effective and flexible manner.
The Polistream system is developed with the careful use of advanced new encoding, streaming, and distribution techniques. This powerful combination of technology allows the simple and effective integration with other broadcast manufacturers to enable a smooth operation flow of data, timing, graphics, and video.
Josh Sparks, European Product Manager for Avid, said: “The tight Avid MetaSync/Polistream integration will enable both broadcasters and production houses to benefit from the efficiencies and workflow improvements inherent in incorporating subtitle generation within the editing process. Single point-of-production for multi-lingual programming will now become an economic reality.”
Screen Subtitling Systems Technical Director Matt Deakin added: “This collaboration with Avid is very exciting for the future of subtitle preparation. Customers need systems that require the minimum of intervention, and this new subtitling connection with the Avid technology will prove invaluable to broadcasters who require a complete end-to end editing solution.”
